Real Madrid vs Juventus | Preview & Expected Lineup

Real Madrid topped Group H but now face Juventus, who finished second in Group G. Madrid’s reward is a spot in a packed bracket with PSG, Bayern, and Dortmund.

They’ve responded well under Xabi Alonso, winning their last two group matches 6-1 on aggregate. Los Blancos are unbeaten in six games (W5, D1) and boast 13 CWC matches without defeat (W12, D1). Juventus lost 5-2 by Manchester City on matchday three.

That loss was Igor Tudor’s second in charge (W7, D3, L2). It ended Juve’s four-game winning streak. The Italian side hasn’t conceded five or more goals in Europe since 1958.
They will aim to bounce back with determination and pride.
